CBS News Sunday Morning taped an interview with Gisele Bündchen featuring her and Lee Cowan her home in Costa Rica. In the interview, Gisele talks about her divorce from her famous NFL star husband and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback. She revealed that her relationship with the 5-time Super Bowl MVP isn’t what she “dreamed” and “hoped” for. She explains that she wants a relationship like her parents, who have been married for 50 years.
In the interview, Bündchen opens up about the difficulties in her personal life when she had to homeschool her kids, relocate to Tampa Bay, and support her ailing parents. She said, “It’s been very tough on my family. It’s been a lot — in every area of my life. I feel like whenever it rains, it pours.“
The supermodel and entrepreneur goes on to say that she’s in a different place where she’s able to fix her goals on her desires. “I think before I was more surviving, and now I’m living, which is different,” she said. She is now living in Miami with her kids, pursuing different ventures.
In her announcement, Gisele is stating the obvious that she’s happy with her choice. But she still appreciates him and wishes him the best as the father of her “wonderful children.” Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have two children together, Benjamin (13) and Vivian (10).

One thing that Bündchen learned from her divorce is that “self-care isn’t selfish.” She wants mothers like her to know that the only thing to do is to “put the oxygen mask on you first” because “no one is going to do it for you.” She admitted that it is meditation, wellness, and daily exercise that keep her focused.
Gisele Bündchen was full of hope when she said, “And I think when a door shuts, another one opens.” And we can take her statement as true because she is already making a difference in her life.
